[Sca-cooks] scallops

[Elaine Koogler]

Usually, what I do is to brush the scallops (I use the larger sea
scallops...I think their flavor is better) with butter, then sprinkle on
some salt, a little pepper and either a seafood seasoning (I like Stubbs
Rosemary and Ginger Rub or perhaps a light touch of Old Bay) or maybe some
marjoram or tarragon, then broil.  As is the case with most seafood, be very
careful not to over cook them...they should be lightly browned on each side.
